This will be one of the most valuable posts on the internet about human health ! Health is wealth!!

The western world of
medicine and surgery, has come to know about the human body's lymph node system
only 60 years ago.

The Greeks Hippicratus,
Ruphus and Hirphilos came to know of the
lymph nodes system from the Ayurvedic texts of India , 2000 years ago. You must understand that Ayurveda is 6000
years old.

The Ayurvedic massage
for Lymph node drainage is amazingly scientific, using nav-dhanya dry powder.
Nav Dhanya is 9 different grades of grain and pulses , having different scales
of hardness and size.

When I wrote my post
SURYA NAMASKAR, THE 11000 YEAR OLD VEDIC SUN SALUTATION- VADAKAYIL, I deliberately left out the physical aspect of Surya Namaskar.

I just referred to the
blog statistics and have found out that my post SURYA NAMASKAR was downloaded 36278 times in a little under 10 months. This could be a world record for
a single post on an exercise.

Now I will talk about
the physical YOGA aspect of Surya Namaskar. You will be amazed that this
intricate and vast knowledge is
available in our Ayurveda books.

Yoga is NOT about
twisting yourself like a pretzel to stretch and limber up. It had the amazing
capability to boost your immunity to almost all diseases, and to help you to
recover fast from existing ones. This works like magic, as it has everything to
do with your body's lymph system.

Now let me digress-

Two years ago, I came
back home on leave after a particularly torturous flight pattern from South
America when I could NOT keep my legs up for nearly 2 days. I had difficulty in
removing my boots when i reached home.

The next morning I
found that both my legs were swollen , edema , as it is popularly known. At the
first glance it looked like a simple case of lymph drainage problem. In which
case I had to take care of it from a Lymph angle.When you sit still for a long
time without moving, the lymph can't flow easily -- this is why you may
experience swollen feet

Since I am not the type
who jumps the gun, I waited for another 4 days. Gave my legs enough time to be
rested at a high place with respect to my heart. The swelling was still the
same. My wife got worried about my kidneys, as the kidney department beds of
all Kerala hospitals are full, since the past 10 years .

So I told my wife, just
show me the salt packet she used in cooking. It was a famous brand of Iodized
salt. I just dumped the whole thing into the garbage and told my wife "
let us go to the supermarket. We need to
buy "natural unrefined sea salt".
Never mind the spin of the manufacturers of this Iodized salt brand
".

I never got swollen
feet after that. When there is too much Iodine in the body it upsets the
Lymphatic system.

Main stream science and
medicine has NOT caught up yet with the Lymphatic system. A good Lymph doctor
can have one look at you, and tell you what is wrong with you. This science is
so exact.

It is a shame to see middle
aged women suffering from excessive bleeding, cramps and PMS. In the West , due to the type of food they
eat, women suffer needlessly from breast tumours and cancer. This category must
pay special attention to this post. They have help in the form of an Ayurvedic
Lymph drainage massage.

You will NOT appreciate
the meaning of such a weird massage, unless you know the basics. Unfortunately
your science books in school almost ignored this subject.

The lymphatic system in
your body is a series of connected nodes, ducts and organs that play a vital
part in your immune system.

The human arteries are
like a two-lane highway bringing nutrients, oxygen and fluid to the body part.
The vein is a one-lane highway taking away the used blood, and the lymphatic channels
are the other one-lane highway draining away the lymph fluid.

Two lanes in
together, but two out lanes separate out. Blood is responsible for collecting
and distributing oxygen, nutrients and hormones to the entire body where lymph
is responsible for collecting and removing waste products left behind in the
tissues.

Plasma leaks out of the
capillaries to surround and bathe the body tissues. This then drains into the
lymph vessels.

The circulatory system
processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day. Roughly 17 liters per day of that gets
reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels. The primary function of the lymph
system is to provide an accessory route for these excess 3 liters per day to
get returned to the blood. So colourless lymph is essentially recycled blood plasma. The biggest lymph
vessel is the thoracic duct, which empties back into the blood circulation. At the cellular level,
the lymphatic system is a pathway through which fluid flows from the
intercellular spaces into the blood.

The lymphatic system
has vessels just like our circulatory system, but does not have a pump like the
heart for the circulatory system . In order to clear the “lymph” (the clear
extracellular fluid that is collected by the lymphatic vessels and filtered by
the lymph nodes), the lymphatic system must be pumped manually.

Lymph is a clear fluid
that travels through your body's arteries, circulates through your tissues to
cleanse them and keep them firm, and then drains away through the separate
lymphatic system.

Lymph nodes are the
filters along the lymphatic system.
Their job is to filter out and trap bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and
other unwanted substances, and to make sure they are safely eliminated from the
body.

Each cell is nourished
by the nutrients, oxygen and proteins that flow across the walls of capillaries
into the interstitial fluid. There is a dynamic balance between the forces that
help those nutrients to first exit the capillaries, and then get reabsorbed
back into the blood stream.

Proteins play a big part in this transfer
because they have a tendency to draw water to themselves. This means that the
proper amounts of protein on both sides of the capillary wall are vital to keep
the tissues balanced. If there are too many proteins within the interstitial
spaces, fluid will start to accumulate, causing edema. The lymph system’s role
of removing proteins is vital to keeping edema down. If the lymph system
becomes sluggish, edema can develop. This type of edema is called lymphostatic
edema- or a high protein edema.

Other causes of edema
can be a chemical imbalance in the body caused by liver disease, diabetes, or a
variety of other ailments. This type of edema is called lymphodynamic edema,
and requires other forms of therapy due to the fact that it is a chemical
imbalance.

Below picture-- western women , can avoid breast cancer and tumors by knowing the nodes . and which way to massage. They wear tight bras, which restrict drainage. Breast is loose flesh without skeletal ligaments and muscle , and hence cannot drain properly .

The lymphatic system,
because of its physical proximity to many tissues of the body, is responsible
for carrying cancerous cells between the various parts of the body in a process
called metastasis. The intervening lymph nodes can trap the cancer cells. If
they are not successful in destroying the cancer cells the nodes may become
sites of secondary tumors.

Lymphatic blockages can
result in a swelling at the lymphatic node junctions. This condition results in
providing a breeding ground for viruses and pathogenic material. The lymph system acts as a reservoir of
infection, churning out billions of infected immune-system cells that
eventually spill into the blood stream, where they travel to other parts of the
body. Up to to ten times as much virus
may reside in the lymph system as in the blood.

Since there is no pump,
the lymph movement relies on contraction of smooth muscle tissue lining the
walls of lymph vessels. Movement of skeletal muscles is also important for
driving lymph along the systems network of vessels to lymph nodes and from
these to lymph ducts where the lymph tissue joins cardiovascular circulation.
This is what the scientifically formulated Yoga positions do.

So lymph is basically
the fluid and protein ( plasma ) that has been squeezed out of the blood. The
lymph is drained from the tissue in microscopic blind-ended vessels called
lymph capillaries. Lymphedema is the swelling caused by the accumulation of
lymph fluid, which may occur if the lymphatic system is damaged or has
malformations. Enlarged lymph nodes may
be caused by lack of sleep, imbalance and irregular meals, long-hour standing
or seating, improper gestures, etc.

Lymph vessels run
through the body in much the same way blood vessels do. The capillaries of the
circulatory system leak the plasma and nutrients into the tissues of the body
to feed the individual cells. Most of that fluid is not returned to the
circulatory system, but rather stays in between the tissue layers as
interstitial fluid.

This fluid is filtered into the lymph vessels and travels
back toward the heart where it will be returned to the circulatory system. When
the interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic system the fluid is called lymph.
Lymph nodes lie in specific locations along the lymphatic vessels and perform
vital functions for the body's immune system.

6000 years ago,
Ayurveda and Yoga realized that many
lymph nodes are situated near the region around the joints. Humans have
approximately 500-700 lymph nodes distributed throughout the body, with
clusters found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen.

All lymph
vessels lead to lymph nodes. Lymph nodes can be as small as the head of a pin,
or as big as an olive . Half of the lymph nodes in the body, are located in the abdomen, and many are in the
neck.

The movements of the
limbs help to act as a pump to move the lymph through the system. They are
located in clusters around the knee, groin, elbows, shoulders and neck. Lymph
nodes are also found in the central abdominal and chest area to assist with
lymph drainage around the vital organs.

Every Yoga movement take this into
account. This is why Yoga must not be self inflicted. Because the lymph doesn't have a heart to
pump it so good circulation of the lymphatic system depends on getting proper
stretching exercise and yogic inverted postures which use gravity.

Human lymph nodes are
bean-shaped and range in size from a few millimeters to about 1–2 cm in their
normal state.

Lymph nodes can become
swollen for several reasons. When an infection invades the body, more white
blood cells can flood into the lymph nodes to fight the antigen. If there is
inflammation in the area of the lymph node, the inflamed cells can enter the
node and cause it to swell. Malignant cancer cells can infiltrate the node,
causing it to expand. Lymphoma and
leukemia also can lead to swollen nodes, caused by the multiplication of
cancerous lymphocytes.

Fats are evacuated
through lymphatic vessels. These vessels are located in virtually every area of
the body where fats may accumulate. The functioning of the immune system is
stimulated through increased lymph flow. The additional flow carries more
antigens to the lymph nodes, thereby increasing antibody/antigen contact. This
has been found to help with chronic or subacute inflammatory processes --
chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease, bronchitis, sinusitis,
amygdalitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, arthritis, acne and eczema.

When the lymphatic
system becomes blocked or begins working slowly then it effects all of the
body. All of the toxins that your body will normally throw away will then be
soaked into other organs and can cause other harmful health conditions,
including obesity.

Fats in dairy,
hydrogenated vegetable fats and fatty meats can slow the flow of the lymphatic
waste system forcing the body to absorb these fats and toxins resulting in
obesity, cellulite and disease.

The Ayurvedic lymphatic
drainage massage works with the filtering and cleaning of the lymph nodes,
starting at the arms and legs and moving towards the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are gently stimulated,
encouraging them to discharge their contents throughout the lymphatic network,
facilitating the removal of lymphatic waste from the body.

Ayurvedic Lymphatic
drainage massage is a therapeutic massage treatment. The massage uses very
light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase lymphatic flow,
with the aim of getting rid of toxins in your body. The amazing paradox is that
such a superficial massage technique targetting just under the skin has such a
deep impact.

Lymphatic drainage
massage must take place in a warm room, as warmth is an important factor in
increasing lymphatic flow.

The lymph flow has to go towards the heart. When I
did my lymph drainage Ayurvedic massage, the routine was one hour daily for 10
days. Three people labored on me with nav dhanya - 9 different types of broken grains and pulses of different hardness and sizes..

The shallow abrasive dry grain
massage causes the outer layer of skin slough off. Initially you feel as if sand is being rubbed on the skin. It uproots all the body , arm , leg , hair too, as the long superficial stroke is mostly against the lay if the hair. If you do NOT use dry grain powder, you have to use a brush with bristles.

The day you go for the massage eat only fruits, and drink lot of water. After the massage drink lot of water again.

See picture above-- a lot of you have got yourself a HARD massage from IGNORANT massues and permanently damaged the non-return valves of your lymph nodes. Think back --when did you do allow a such a spurious massage on your back torso and shoulders.It gently stimulates blood
flow to the skin through the smaller capillaries in the skin's deeper layers.
The increased blood flow both promotes skin renewal and supports proper
elimination and detoxification.

Approximately 70% are superficial lymphatic capillaries located just under, the skin. The remaining 30%,
which are known as deep lymphatic capillaries, surround most of the body’s
organs.The deep ones can be stimulated only by Yoga. Like veins, the lymphatic vessels, which are known as lymphangions,
have one-way valves to prevent any backward flow.

The lymphatic system
drainage is organized into two separate, and very unequal drainage areas. The
right drainage area clears the right arm and chest. The left drainage area
clears all of the other areas of the body including both legs, the lower trunk
upper left of the chest, and the left arm.

Lymph vessels make an
intimate meshwork that covers every inch of your skin, and surrounds each organ
in great detail. By performing lymphatic
drainage massage correctly, we can stimulate the opening of the initial lymphatic
and increase the volume of lymph flow by as much as 20 times. But if you push too hard, you collapse the initial
lymphatic, diminishing the lymph flow.

Excessive pressure can even break the
filaments that hold the initial lymphatic in place. This is one reason that
deep styles of massage are contraindicated in areas of edema. Luckily if deep
pressure has broken any filaments, they usually reform within 48 hours. Be
careful, as Lymph nodes that has been damaged or destroyed, does not
regenerate.

Calendula, also known
Calendula officinalis, is an herb that may be helpful in improving your
lymphatic drainage.. The flowers of the plant are used for medicinal purposes,
including stimulating lymphatic drainage.
Calendula is also a lymphagogue, or a substance that supports your
lymphatic organs and stimulates your lymph system.

Lymphatic drainage massage ( use sesame or virgin coconut oil ) has a positive effect on the following conditions:

Fluid retention – puffy
ankles, legs, eyes, and abdomen.

Arthritis and
rheumatism.

Assistance for
migraine, headaches, and MS

Constipation and
digestive disorders.

Sinusitis and hayfever.

Hormonal imbalance.

Recurring infections –
colds, flu, ear or chest.

Skin disorders – acne,
scleroderma, eczema and psoriasis.

Wearing a tight
compression garment during yoga exercise also provides resistance to further
stimulate the lymph flow. This acts like wringing a wet towel. Like body
inversions and head stand exercises, twists offer your body new ways to remove
toxins and flush important lymph around the entire torso.

Yogic asanas to aid
lymph flow includes neck rotation, shoulder shrugs, ankle pumps, leg slides,
shoulder blade squeezes etc. Yoga diaphragmatic breathing and many yoga
positions open up the chest cavity, while poses like shoulder stands, enlist
gravity to help lymph fluid get where it is supposed to go. Below video--Suryanamaskar for deep Lymph node drainage. Surya namaskar can increase
lymph flow 20 fold. Two-thirds of the lymph is produces in the liver and
intestines.

Because the
lymphatic system is a closed pressure system and has one-way valves that keep lymph
moving towards the heart, when one turns upside down like in Shirshasan , the
entire lymphatic system is stimulated, thus strengthening your immune system.

Lymph fluid is relieved from the legs and ankles and with regular practice
prevents the buildup of fluid in the legs and feet. Usually gravity is pulling us down and
compressing our bodies, yet when we do inversions this process is completely
reversed. So instead of working against us, gravity is working for us by
decompressing our bodies and reversing the flow of the lymphatic system, which
does NOT have a pump.

Yoga asanasas help to shift Lymph fluids around your body
in ways that you would not ordinarily be able to achieve in daily life .

Inverted yoga poses are
particularly beneficial to the white collar office workers who have occupations
that require prolonged sitting still . These work positions increase the
occurrence of fluid build up in the blood vessels and lymphatic channels of the
legs. With light yoga inversions, swelling, discomfort and other chronic
conditions can be alleviated.

Recapitulation: Lymph
drainage massage can increase the flow of lymph by as much as 20 times! A
normal lymphatic flow is about 4 ounces of lymph per hour. This means that with
Manual Lymphatic Drainage the flow can be increased to as much as 80 ounces per
hour! All by superficial skin massage
gently stimulating the lymph nodes located just below the surface of the skin.
The deeper nodes can be stimulated only by Yoga exercises.

Warning: If there is an
infection anywhere in the body, lymphatic drainage cannot be done, as it will
spread the infection throughout the body.

Finally surface lymph drainage
massage and yoga asana deep lymph fluid channeling if done properly can cause obese
people to lose weight and dimpled cellulite--it is more or less a miracle.
.

Move only the surface of the skin. Avoid engaging the muscles. The fluid is moved
into the lymph nodes by lightly stretching the skin in specific directions.

Just by de-congesting
lymph nodes, and getting the body rid of lipomas or fibroadenomas?

Yes!.Below pictures of swollen and infected lymph nodes

Yoga has timings. You
cannot get up at midnight and start doing yoga. The ancient Vedic seers knew
this 6000 years ago.

Magnesium and potassium
live normally within the human cell, and sodium and calcium are found outside.
During the day sodium sneaks into the cell, taking a hydrogen ion with it,
which is acidifying. In order to buffer
this acidity, which is toxic to the cell, calcium also moves in. This has the effect of displacing potassium (
by sodium) and magnesium ( by calcium ) which is pushed out of the cell. At night the opposite takes place and
potassium and magnesium move back into the cell, pushing out the calcium and
sodium, which takes the hydrogen ion with it. This has the effect of cleansing
the cell, so you should wake up bright and refreshed.

The moon has an
affinity for sodium.

How many of you know
that the moon leaves a sodium trail thousands of miles long?

Why does our ocean have
sodium?

Thanks a ton for this post. You have made it crystal clear why all ancient practices of physical well being speak of relaxing and comfortable stretching while doing the asanas.

Today, western medicine has completely ruined our bodies as it is a very incomplete science. 2 years back when i had done my stool tests, i realised something called mucous which is a part of our stools, and wanted to know more. That is when i started studying Ayurvedic concepts slowly and steadily.

Alongside, i also tried to understand the principles of Chinese medicine. Realised that we do not pay attention to the key organs of our body, like kidneys, spleen, liver. The modern medical practices might help us feel good by eliminating the surface symptoms, but deep inside, they act as slow killers.

I liken this to the following analogy. There is water dripping from the roof of a house. The reason is the tank on top is leaking. Modern medicine believes in investing in water proofing the roof, rather than working on the core issue. And the core issue remaining unfixed, slowly and steadily will ruin the whole house.

A concept of Ayurveda that i will always keep in mind is the power of the body to heal itself. The way we can help the body heal itself with diet, the right attitude and other supplementary items is the most amazing one i feel.

As is clear, the focus today is superficial and not deep. We want shape, muscles, good hair. The hair is falling because there is an issue in the digestive system. This can be fixed by fasting, changing the diet - things that actually will save money. But instead one spends thousands of rupees on medical consultations, tonics etc. Goes on to indicate that the ones with knowhow really want to exploit the ordinary public. (Actually it is debatable whether most of our doctors know anything at all!)

And the public is so busy in IPL and Sunny Leone that it has no time to enlighten itself...;)

Good one Ajimamen!!!Yoga everyday;keeps the doctor away :) I would like to know if Homeopathic treatment is the safest way of medication. Anika & myself are purely into Homeopathy & she who earlier used to catch the common cold or a flu every 2 weeks is now off the doc past 6 months...wonder if its the homeo which is doing the trick or her immunity system!!! How safe is biochem medicines.Ny idea? Can u pls keep my post private?

"

@ajit ji, @anjana,

Read this blog "http://quicktake.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/indias-backward-traditional-medical-system/" which also offers a '2ndlook' ( just like this blog)read the comments section also (-"3. Homeopathy has an extremely small theoretical base – and strangely, a huge, empirical base.")

there is an unstated link India-(Brutishers)-(Hessian soldiers)-Germany. In fact, Captain in some of his other blogs have detailed this link beautifully. I will add that Friedrich Maximilian Muller or Max Muller ( popular version) in his biography tells us of this physician Samuel Hahnemann. According to him, he was treated in leipzig for a severe headache by hahnemann with so called homeopathy, but did not work for him in the long run. - rgds

even i wud like to share my experience. i had hit on my right knee by a sharp edge of my work desk.

i tried with allopathy doctor who prescribed calcium tabs/ vitamin D injections and physio therapy., which made things worse..i was unable to walk freely. in the pharmacy i noted same medicines prescribed to all patients by the ortho doctor.

then i settled with yoga which gave lot of relief and i was able recover in a year time and with oil application murivenna and pinda thailam mixed daily.

i keep my yoga schedules very prompt daily.

while reading ur post feel there should be injury may be in lymphnode or related tissue which could have aggravated by improper treatment.

Thank you for your wonderful mail on human lymph system. It was quite educative and an eye opener.I am a wellness consultant by proffession and passion and i am also promoting a Trans Siberia Ayurveda product adapted with 21st century manufacturing technology.I fully agree with you about the pitfalls of Alopathy. Still people opt for it mainly because of so called quick relief so that they can quickly continue earning for survival.I am ardently involved in orienting the commoner class to resist the temptation of Alopathy and resort to Herbal supplements with sound Ayurveda base.Your article helps me with many authentic and scientific data of human anatomy.

Hello Captain, I did not understand what you mean here.. " This is why Yoga must not be self inflicted." .. Should we not do yoga by ourselves? I see ramdev baba yoga videos and try to follow them. Please advice.

Is it ok to do yoga when you have an irritated/swollen/painful lymph node? Mine is in my neck (left side), and is swelling inward (into my throat), but is not visible from the outside. It hurts to swallow. Thank you!

I am so glad to have had access to your posts and it truly has educated and enlightened me in my areas of life.

Last year I had a swollen lymph node on my left neck with series of tests pet, MRI, needle biopsy I was advised by a well known doctor to do a biopsy and with gods grace it was nothing and me and my family were relieved.

I do surya namaskaram along with Sandya vandana daily.

Any other specific yoga? Also where is the best place to try nava Dhanya lymph massage. Any suggestion in us?

Also regarding salt we were using iodized salt for ages. Recently I switched to sea salt iodized as my wife has hypothyroidism and from Ayurvedic post I gather iodized is better with thyroid issues. What do u suggest

In your entire life time your body just needs less than a tea spoon of iodine to ensure good health.

But , your body lacks the ability to store iodine .This means you must make consume a little every day to stay in tip top condition

Unhealthy chemical processes are involved in the creation of iodized salt. Iodized salt sometimes worsens symptoms in persons with pre-existing conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Iodine added to table salt evaporates in a matter of days when it is exposed to air.

You can get NATURAL iodine from eggs, fish, beans, shrimp, milk, potatoes etc.

Over consumption of iodine can be as toxic and just as damaging as a deficiency.

Like under-consumption, too much iodine prevents proper production of thyroid hormones leading to goiter. Increased iodine intake, especially in CHEMICAL supplement form, increases the autoimmune attack on the thyroid.

Most iodine deficiency problems are created by bromine.

Bromines are endocrine disruptors, as they compete for the same receptors that are used to capture iodine.

If you are exposed to a lot of bromine, your body will not hold on to the iodine that it needs. And iodine affects every tissue in your body -- not just your thyroid.

Imported fruits like strawberries you get in FDI in retail stores are sprayed with methyl bromide. Flours often contain a "dough conditioner" called potassium bromate.

When you ingest bromine, it displaces iodine, and this iodine deficiency leads to an increased risk for cancer of the breast, thyroid gland, ovary and prostate -- cancers that we see at alarmingly high rates today.

Have you notices the increased prostrate gland problem in India-- all created by FOREIGN MAAL in fancy western stores? this disease never existed in india.

It is a fu#kin' lie that if we eat too much salt you will die.

when you eat more salt and your body retains water to maintain a stable concentration of sodium in your blood.

This is why eating salty food tends to make us thirsty: we drink more-- to retain water.

The result can be a TEMPORARY increase in blood pressure, which will persist until your kidneys eliminate both salt and water.

A low salt diet on the contrary increase your risk of death--

Did you know that the majority of the sodium you eat -as much as 75% comes from packages of processed, prepared foods ?-- thanks to FDI in multibrand retail !!

Castor oil for hair growth also improves blood circulation, which is vital to stimulate hair growth and Castor oil hair growth has a number of health benefits which can improve the rate of hair growth.

what is the actual cause of breast cancer.the other day in news it was said that coastal andhra pradesh is also having more and more women suffering from breast cancer. Is it anything to do with lifestyle, religion, region, food habits? Why certain places are getting affected with breast cancer?

ThanksSD

well i decided to grab the bull by the bal#s and put a comment in TOI e paper itself--

#######################

ALL YE BANGALORE GIRLS --

DONT LISTEN TO THESE STUPID DOCTORS, WHO DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE COMING OR GOING- -ALL MANAGEMENT QUOTA DUFFERS .

IF YOU WANNA AVOID BREAST CANCER , PAY ATTENTION .

1) do not wear under wired bras .

2) do NOT shave your armpits and spray anti-perspirants which are aluminium based , laced with PARABEN which mimic estrogen. aluminium plugs the sweat duct -- this causes lymph node problems .

most breast cancers develop in the upper outer quadrant of the breast because that area is closest to the lymph nodes exposed to antiperspirants .

4) if you had your first periods before the age of 11 , you are at risk of breast cancer. stop drinking A1 toxic HUMPLESS cow milk which contain phyto oestrogens .

5) do not cook in any veg oil which give free radicals at high heat indian style cooking. virgin coconut oil is the best. such women must avoid working night shifts prior to the first pregnancy .6) breast feed babies for MINIMUM 6 months- read this twice .

7) use condoms to FU#K --do NOT use birth control pills which contain the SAME type of synthetic hormones -- estrogen and progestin .

Captain. I am eagerly waiting for your reply and advise on my above query, if possible and if time permits would also want to know of any remedies for keloids, my husband has got it on his ear lobe and arm.

keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that develops around a wound. there are no hair follicles or sweat glands within the scar.

if your keloid is NOT bothering you , leave it alone -- just make sure you do NOT have any skin injuries.

some times it can be in a highly visible area, or it itches or is tender, or if it is on a joint which restricts movement, or it is tending to migrate to other areas ---. in which case , you can manage it by treatment.

unlike usual scars, keloids do not subside over time. when it comes to keloids, prevention is crucial.

cortisone injections --injections are safe (very little steroid gets into the bloodstream) and usually help flatten keloids

freezing keloids with liquid nitrogen may flatten them but often darkens the site of treatment.

laser can be effective at flattening keloids and making them look less red. treatment is safe and not very painful, but several treatment sessions may be needed.

there are some ayurvedic treatments available-- NOT very effective.

probably you can try a vadakayil concoction of small indian onion juice , vitamin E sesame oil with lemon juice -- and apply a pressure pad dressing.

Thanks a lot sir, the keloid on the ear lobe is increasing in size, injections not seem to work... now on ayur treatment but as u said that is also not very effective. we were down with dengue fever few months back with platelet dropping so we were having tender papaya juice which was very effective.. we noticed that the keloid growth on the ear lobe had decreased a little in size.. v are wondering if we can start off to try taking the papaya leaf juice and watch if it helps. can i know your suggestions please...And thanks a lot for your tip about the kunju ulli, sesame oil and lemon juice. will definitely try it.can i please know the quantity of each ingredient and also when is the best time of day to do it, how many times a day.your suggestions will help us greatly.sorry for the trouble.

Thanx so much for such detailed info.I read some of your articles on kundalini awakening....would like to know more on how a family should deal with a family member whose kundalini has awakened and is raving mad.the family has suffered enough.don't know how to deal with this.please help.my email id is ganeshjagdishan@gmail.com....it would be of great help. jai gurudev!

Captain, my husband was out of station and is back and we have started to apply the vadakayil concoction of small indian onion juice , vitamin E sesame oil with lemon juice from yesterday for the keloids . i used the normal sesame oil used to make pickles n light lamps. i applied it on the ear using a cotton and then keeping the cotton there put a tape around it. this was done after he came bk from work kept it until he went to bed maybe for 3 hrs. is this the right way to do. hope to hear from you.Thanks

The male voice box is typically different from a female voice box in several ways. A man's vocal cords, is longer, thicker and less tense. Think of the strings on a guitar -- the lower notes are made by heavier strings while the thinner strings produce higher notes.

Tighten or loosen those strings and the pitch will rise or fall.

The introduction of testosterone into the body will naturally alter the muscularity of the body and bring the feminine pitch down into vocal range associated with a man.

The larynx (or voice box) and vocal cord tissues do not fully mature until late teenage years. Hormone-related changes during adolescence are particularly noticeable among boys. The general surgical procedures to correct voice problems are to thicken vocal cords or to adjust their tension. Just as making the string on a musical instrument tighter and tighter causes its pitch to rise, changing the tension of the vocal cords changes the pitch of the voice.

Vocal training is the way to go to naturally lower your voice by stretching out the vocal cords. Suggest you do NOT go for surgery and hormones .

Longer vocal cords produce deeper registers, so if you can stretch your vocal cords with practice, vocal training could be a permanent fix.

Hi SirI am suffering from Lympnode in my left neck from last 4 years, Intial doctor test result is TB but after taking 18 month of medicine , but its stopped when I stop taking Anti TB medicine. Again from Dec 2013, I am suffering from same lymp nodes, the fluid collect & burst in one week. I am taking catergory -2 of Anti TB medicine but same issue. Kindly suggest as Doctor haven't any idea instead of TB. I have never sick with symptoms of TB.

The lymph nodes act like a military checkpoint. When bacteria, viruses and abnormal or diseased cells pass through the lymph channels they are stopped at the node.

When faced with infection or illness, the lymph nodes accumulate the debris of the disease such as bacteria, and dead or diseased cells. Within the capsule, lymph nodes contain certain kinds of immune cells.

These cells are mainly lymphocytes, which produce proteins that capture and fight viruses and other microbes, and macrophages, which destroy and remove the captured material.

Lymph nodes are usually not visible or palpable (felt by touching), unless they are swollen or enlarged for some reason. Deeper lymph nodes could be seen on imaging studies, such as CT scan (computed tomography), of different parts of the body.

The lymph nodes in the neck can even become swollen in response to an upper respiratory infection, like the common cold.

Swollen lymph nodes on the side of the neck or under jaw are the most common. They may represent an infection around that area, such as a tooth infection or abscess, throat infection, viral illness, or upper respiratory infection. Most of the causes of swollen lymph nodes in this area are benign (non cancerious).

Swollen lymph nodes behind the ear may correspond to an infection around the scalp or possibly a conjunctival (eye) infection. The most common cause of scalp lylmph nodes are skin conditions affecting the scalp, such as dandruff (sebhorrheic dermatitis).

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that involves the lungs. It may spread to other organs. One of the symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis is swollen or tender lymph nodes in the neck or other areas. Although it doesn’t show any symptoms initially, later stages are characterized by cough (usually with mucus and coughing up blood), excessive sweating at night, fatigue, fever, and weight loss.Treatment involves a combination of many drugs (usually four drugs)

Mononucleosis is a viral infection. It is more common in older teenagers and young adults.

In addition to a severe throat and fatigue, its symptoms often include weakness, aches, dizziness, enlarged spleen and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

There is no specific treatment for swollen lymph nodes. Generally, the underlying cause needs to be treated, which may result in the resolution of the swollen lymph node.

Treating an infection causing the swollen lymph node, for example, will result in the lymph node swelling to subside. If the swollen lymph node is due to a cancer of the lymph node (lymphoma), then the swelling will shrink after treating the lymphoma.

If cancer is suspected, a biopsy may be done to confirm the diagnosis.

Any swollen lymph nodes that don't go away or return to normal size over about a month should be checked by your doctor. Lymph nodes may remain swollen or firm long after an initial infection is gone.

Lymph glands are normally pea-sized. They can swell to the size of a marble .

Tubercular lymph nodes can start an abscess as large as an egg.

Throat infections, tonsillitis, the common cold and tooth-related infections may cause lymph glands in the neck to swell.

Scalp skin conditions or even head lice may cause the lymph glands at the back of the head to swell.

Skin infections of the arm may cause lymph glands in the armpit to swell.

Infections of the leg or genitals, or nappy rash, may cause lymph glands in the groin to swell.

Viral infections such as flu (influenza), chickenpox or glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) affect the whole body. You may then develop swollen lymph glands in various parts of the body such as the neck, armpit and groins.

As a rule, swollen lymph glands due to cancers, lymphomas and leukaemias develop more slowly than those due to infections. They also tend to be painless at first.

Again-Swollen lymph glands are like a marker of various conditions, all with different outlooks and treatments. So, for example, the common cause is due to a viral infection. In this case no specific treatment may be advised and the lymph glands will normally go back to normal after a week or so. Swollen lymph nodes can be caused by infections such as cold and flu, abscessed or impacted tooth, gum disease, mouth sores, ear infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases.

However, swollen lymph glands caused by a cancer, lymphoma or leukaemia may need extensive treatment.

What you had before was tuberculous lymphadenitis, which y affects nodes in the neck under the ear.

A TB infection of the lungs is known as pulmonary TB.

TB can occur outside the lungs, which is known as extrapulmonary TB.Extrapulmonary TB is more common in people with a weakened immune system,.

You are also more likely to develop extrapulmonary TB if you have previously been infected with TB but haven't had any symptoms (a latent TB infection).

Thank you for your reply. It was helpful.Your time answering and letting know the details are much appreciated sir.

More than the pros & cons of eating or not eating beef, I was overwhelmed by the thought of not eating beef only because of the value of Gau mata (cows) we associate with Santan Dharma.

Sir - People are increasingly talking about Colon Therapy these days and the benefits/risks associated with it. It appears similar, not exactly same, to the Nauli Kriya described in Yoga. While approaching Nauli Kriya expertise takes lots of practice and patience, seems we can achieve the same results through colon therapies.

Sir - just wanted to understand if colon therapies are okay to be tried once and what are the risks if any?

########Capt. Ajit VadakayilMarch 5, 2014 at 9:46 PMhi s,

my grandmother's brother used to do nauli kriya.

i remember going to his house with my wife , and at the age of 97 he was busy in the back yard digging a trench with a kaikot ( spade ).

so we have to retrieve a property document from him--and he was NOT able to read properly.

so i told him, why dont you get your specs changed.

at that time his daughter butted in--

she said that a week ago she took him to the eye doctor. he made him read the chart .

after that the eye specialist asked him what his age is.

when he said 97, the doctor got pissed off.

he spAke--

AT THIS AGE YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE PERFECT EYE SIGHT !

when he did NAULI KRIYA his stomach from ribs to groin would be like a thin pillar column and he sued to swish it around for good measure. he started kalari at the age of 6.

baba ramdev does it too -- but only 20% of what my grand uncle could do.

so when i asked him to do a nauli for me again , just for good ole times-- -- he said he has NOT done it since he crossed 90.

well well what do they know--

this kriya tones and regenerates your liver, kidney, pancreas etc. it invigorates and stimulating the abdominal viscera and the gastro-intestinal system. It helps in toxic excretion. It massages the lymph nodes.

when you have a healthy digestive system and a healthy vagus nerve you live long.

on a spiritual level Nauli Kriya stimulates and purifies manipura charka, the storehouse of prana.

The first step to learn how to raise the Kundalini is to learn this-- see i have just let out a secret.

OK--time to let out another secret.

Homosexuality can be cured by Yoga -- this is a spring board to this process of DNA repair via hormone release ..

When the rectus abdominal muscles are rotated from left to right, it is called dakshina nauli.

When the rectus abdominal muscles are rotated from right to left, it is called vama nauli.

When the muscles are pulled together and the middle group of muscles protrude, it is called madhyama nauli

Need your kind advise please.I have two swollen lymph nodes one each in an underarm. They start swelling and expanding about 7 to 10 days before periods. The onset coincides with amavasai for me. From the onset, the swelling decreases and pain usually subsides immediately. I am scared.

We are vegetarians, eat traditionally cooked food. I prepare the main meals so I control salt to nominal levels.I use non aluminum based deo occasionally or just a dab of eo sometimes.I want to do yoga and surya namaskaram which I had learnt and was once a practitioner. This is something I can't kick start again into my routine. There is some energy or intention block that I just can't overcome.Tests taken when I was 17 indicated that I have decreased AdH secretion. I was on medication called larvos and then I preferred to stop it at around 24. I drink about 8 to 10 l of water through night and day. I am usually active and never enervated.

Please can you describe a home remedy/ common sense remedy/ lifestyle alteration for the underarm lymph node problem? I am very very wary of going for allopathy based checkups for this issue. After I try whatever you many say, and if it still persists, then I will go (I assume you will ask me to go check). I am ok to be patient about the curing timelines.

First – you MUST consult your doctor, who will give an opinion after physical examination or even a biopsy..

If the lymph mode swells up under the armpit 8 days before periods and subsides the day you get your periods , then it is nothing to worry about— as these are due to hormonal changes.

It is normal to have swelling in breast area or armpit for some people.

########

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is produced by an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hormone is stored in and released by the pituitary gland. ADH controls how your body releases and conserves water.When ADH (also called vasopressin) is produced somewhere other than the hypothalamus, the condition is called syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormoneThe syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion or SIADH is characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone from the posterior pituitary gland or another source. The result is often dilutional hyponatremia in which the sodium remains normal but total body fluid increases.In addition to making it harder for your body to release water, SIADH can result in lowered levels of electrolytes like sodium. Early symptoms may be mild and include cramping and nausea. In severe cases, SIADH can cause confusion, seizures, and coma. Treatment usually begins with limiting fluid intake to prevent further buildup. Additional treatment will depend on the cause.Another name for the syndrome is “ectopic ADH secretion.”SIADH makes it difficult for your body to get rid of excess water. This causes a buildup of fluids as well as abnormally low sodium levels, a condition known as hyponatremia.Symptoms may be mild and vague at first, but tend to build. Severe cases may involve these symptoms:irritability and restlessnessloss of appetitecrampsnausea and vomitingmuscle weaknessconfusionhallucinationsseizuresstuporcomaSIADH is often one of the first symptoms of lung cancer.SIADH can also be caused by tumors of the head or neck. Other triggers for SIADH include:diseased or damaged hypothalamusencephalitis (inflammation of the brain)Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) (immune system disorder)heart failurelung diseasemeningitis (inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord)trauma to the headThe first line of treatment is to limit fluid intake to avoid further buildup. Medications may include those that can reduce fluid retention, such as furosemide (Lasix), and those that can inhibit ADH, like demeclocycline.

"simple problem" reminds me of arnab goswami who has a "simple question".

I am familiar with your problem. i had a muslim engine room motor man who would come to me with abscess in the groin.

one day i got pissed off with this publc hair shaving man, as he was losing work hours -- he insisted that Koran does NOT allow more than 40 days growth of pubic hair (makruh )

so i told him -- either you follow the captain and use scissors -- or you follow Istihdaad / fitrah of islam and use a razor -- take your pick.

Follicles can become infected if the hair within the follicle is trapped and unable to break through the skin, as can happen after shaving. Trapped hair follicles are commonly called ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs can set the stage for an infection. Abscesses that are located on or in a hair follicle will often contain this ingrown hair.

now let me digress-Sunan al-Fitrah, practice of removing the pubic hair has nothing to do with Koran. Even circumcision has nothing to do with Koran. In Koran Allah tells to follow the Koran alone.

back to subject--

Abscesses are caused by obstruction of oil (sebaceous) glands or sweat glands, inflammation of hair follicles, or minor breaks and punctures of the skin. Germs get under the skin or into these glands, which causes an inflammatory response as your body's defenses try to kill these germs.

When bacteria enter your body, your immune system tries to fight the infection by sending white blood cells to the affected area. As the white blood cells attack the bacteria, it causes inflammation (swelling) and the death of nearby tissue, leading to the formation of a cavity.The cavity fills with pus to form the abscess. The pus contains a mixture of dead tissue, white blood cells and bacteria. The abscess may get larger and more painful as the infection continues and more pus is produced.

when you wife gets angry with you she can taunt you by calling you Staphylococcus aureus . This is a type of bacterium found on the surface of healthy skin, particularly in moist, damp areas such as armpits and groins. It can cause skin abscesses and boils.

Some of this SA bacteria can produce a poisonous substance called Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), which kills the white cells, causing the body to make more white cells to continue to fight the infection. PVL-positive strains of bacteria are more likely to cause groin abscesses.Abscesses can form if a sebaceous gland (oil gland) or a sweat gland in your skin becomes blocked.Boils develop as the result of bacteria entering the root of a hair on your skin.Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a common cause of skin abscesses in recent years

Things that increase the likelihood of an abscess developing include:Tight compress trauma to a specific area of the bodya weakened immune systemany material getting into the bodya drainage system in the body becoming blockeda build-up of fluid in the tissues of the bodya haematoma (collection of blood outside a blood vessel)a PVL-positive strain of bacteria (see above)Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare inflammatory skin disease that can cause painful abscesses to appear in the armpits and groin.

It is a chronic (long-term) disease that often begins between ages 20-40. It is also more common in females.

The condition is caused by pores of the apocrine glands (found in the armpits and groin) becoming blocked.

The infection can spread to the surrounding areas of your skin (cellulitis). You may feel unwell and have a fever.

CONTINUED FROM 1-You are more likely to get a skin abscess if you are obese, or have a skin condition or diabetes

Pus is a collection of white blood cells leukocytes, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin. Boils themselves are not contagious, but the bacteria that cause boils are.

The primary home remedy for most boils is heat application, usually with hot soaks or hot packs. Heat application increases the circulation to the area and allows the body to better fight off the infection by bringing antibodies and white blood cells to the site of infection.

Antibiotics are often used to eliminate any accompanying bacterial infection, especially if there is an infection of the surrounding skin. However, antibiotics are not needed in every situation. In fact, antibiotics have difficulty penetrating the outer wall of an abscess well and often will not cure an abscess without additional surgical drainage. While boils typically resolve on their own and have an excellent prognosis.

Complications of a boil are rare and are more likely to occur in people with suppressed immune systems.

Good hygiene and the regular use of antibacterial soaps can help to prevent bacteria from building up on the skin. This can reduce the chance for the hair follicles to become infected and prevent the formation of boils .

The term carbuncle is typically used to represent a larger abscess that involves a group of hair follicles and involves a larger area than a furuncle. A carbuncle can form a hardened lump that can be felt in the skin. The condition of having chronic, recurring boils is referred to as furunculosis or carbunculosis.

Pilonidal cyst is a unique kind of abscess that occurs in the crease of the buttocks. Pilonidal cysts often begin as tiny areas of infection in the base of the area of skin from which hair grows (the hair follicle). With irritation from direct pressure, over time the inflamed area enlarges to become a firm, painful, and tender nodule that makes it difficult to sit without discomfort. These PC between the crack of the ass usually form after long trips that involve prolonged sitting. These almost always require medical treatment, including drainage and packing (putting gauze in the opened abscess to assure it continues to drain).

People with weakened immune systems get certain abscesses more often. This is because the body has a decreased ability to ward off infections.

Do not attempt to drain the abscess by pressing on it. This can push the infected material into the deeper tissues.. the infection spreads into deeper tissue, you may develop a fever and begin to feel ill. Do not stick a needle into the abscess center because you may injure an underlying blood vessel or cause the infection to spread.

If you need pain relief, you can take over-the-counter painkillers or ibuprofen. Antibiotics alone can be inadequate in treating abscesses.

The west puts pictures of Naga sadhus at Kumbh mela , as covered with ash. Yes, ash it is – but it is volcanic ash—NOT fire place ash.

Bentonite clay is highly effective at killing MRSA as well as Salmonella, E.Coli and others.

The clay kills the infection, it and the bacteria is unable to develop a resistance to it as it does with antibiotics.

This clay has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odorless and non-staining—and is basically aged volcanic ash.

Bentonite Clay is a unique clay due to its ability to produce an ELECTRIC STATIC CHARGE when hydrated and beaten into a slurry.

This clay a strong NEGATIVE CHARGE which bonds to the positive charge in many toxins.

Bentonite also helps get OXYGEN to cells as it pulls excess hydrogen and allows the cells to replace it with oxygen instead.

It is used as facial packs to prevent acne and to suck out oil and parasites from skin pores. You feel nice and cool.

It has an alkalizing effect on the body and when taken correctly, it can help balance gut bacteria.

It can neutralize digestive disturbances like acid reflux, constipation, bloating, gas, vomiting and diarrhea etc. Healing clays like Bentonite have a high concentration of minerals including silica, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and potassium.

Plastics can leach estrogen mimicking chemicals into beverage bottles and food containers. These environmental estrogens work together with the body’s own estrogen to increase the risk of breast cancer.

I want to share a post with you, which belongs to NY times and totally humiliates Sanatan Dharma and says that we are one of fools who think that western inventions belongs to India and more rubbish.The sad part is writer himself is an Indian, why some people downgrade to this extent and that to a Mainline newspaper how can they print a typical racism attack.

three years ago, i went to console one of my seniors who went into depression -- as his darling daugher eloped with a Tamilian boy .

I remember when his daughter tanker double banked with my ship, the huge mother tanker , he came on board with his wife and this darling daughter just over a year old—and I had carried the baby in my arms –

i had two nights of beer with him -- reliving old days – how time flies –

he had taken over from me on one ship , as a chief officer -- he begged me to draw his fiancé from memory –

I drew her face almost producing her face LIVE on paper – at school I was an award winning painter and sculptor--

--and then to finger him I started kissing my creating my own art creation— he jumped up and started raining blows on me—

And then we both had a HUGE laugh at the stupidity — with me saying this art is mine – and him saying that is my would be wife -

-- and his wife told my wife while cooking in the kitchen , while we were having beer , that she has never seen her husband so alive , the joy de vivre, the bacchanalia –

-- she had attended my marriage coming all the way to kannur.

I had asked her—did you see that art on chart paper which I kissed—and she blushed—

The pelvis is a butterfly-shaped group of bones at the base of the spine. The pelvis consists of the pubis, ilium and ischium bones (among others) held together by tough ligaments to form a girdle of bones. With a hole in its center, the pelvis forms one major ring and two smaller rings of bone that support and protect the bladder, intestines and rectum.

Fractures of the pelvis are uncommon and range widely from mild (if the minor ring is broken) to severe (if the major ring is broken). Pelvic rings often break in more than one place.

Pelvic fractures are classified as:

Stable, in which the pelvis has one break point in the pelvic ring, limited bleeding and the bones are staying in place.

Unstable, in which there are two or more breaks in the pelvic ring with moderate to severe bleeding.

A computed tomography (CT) scan will be done in complicated cases to get a better picture of the fractures. Depending on how bad the fracture is, other imaging procedures may be needed.

This may include contrasting studies where a radioactive dye is injected to create pictures to evaluate organs and structures in the pelvic area, such as the urethra, bladder and blood vessels.

In the surgical treatment, the orthopaedic surgeon will put the pelvic bones back together and hold them in place with an internal device, such as:

Pins (surgical screws). This is used if the break is where the thighbone (femur) joins the pelvis (femoral neck fracture) and you are younger and more active, or if the broken bone has not moved much out of place. If you are older and less active, you may need a high strength metal device that fits into your hip socket, replacing the head of your femur (hemiarthroplasty).

Compression screw and side plate. This is used for an intertrochanteric fracture to hold the broken bone in place while it lets the head of your femur move normally in your hip socket.

Plates and screws - Following surgical cleaning of the fracture and reposition of fracture fragments. This is done when the hip socket has fractured (acetabular) fractures.

If T4 levels are low (hypothyroidism) as a result of decreased production by the thyroid gland, patients often notice fatigue, lethargy, and weight gain. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) induces production of thyroxine (T4) by the thyroid.

There is an inverse logarithmic relationship between TSH and T4 means that TSH levels will rise long before T4 concentrations fall.

Psychiatric disorders are often associated with disrupted sleep. This is especially true of depression.

Sleep problems such as interrupted sleep, and insomnia are common symptoms of thyroid disorders

Hypothyroidism is the most common and is often the result of an underactive thyroid gland. The result is a deficiency of thyroid hormones throughout the body. Without these hormones, your body will start to slow down a variety of processes leading to fatigue, lack of energy, and muscle weakness.

One of the fatigue related symptoms of hypothyroidism is known as EDS or Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. In fact, this syndrome can become so serious that you will have trouble completing daily routine tasks.

To compound the problem, patients with hypothyroidism often suffer from interrupted sleep or obstructive sleep apnea. You can never certify yourself. You must awaken for at least 5-6 minutes to remember the awakening.

Not only can these be serious health risks on their own, they wreak havoc on your body and disrupt the natural healing process which takes place when your body is at rest.

Follow a strict sleeping schedule. Not only should you adhere to a schedule, but also plan 30 minutes to an hour of relaxation before you plan on going to sleep. This is beneficial because it gives your body clear signals that you are about ready to go to sleep.

Depression, anxiety, stress, and boredom can all contribute to excessive sleepiness. But these conditions more often cause fatigue and apathy.

EDS is simply the excessive need to sleep or doze during the day. In the context of this discussion, hypersomnia refers to the increased need for sleep during the course of an entire 24-hour period

Excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy)is usually treated with a medication to improve alertness and an anti-depressant that helps control cataplexy.

Insomnia is difficulty falling or staying asleep or a sensation of unrefreshing sleep.EDS is the tendency to fall asleep during normal waking hours.Sleep disorders may be caused by factors inside the body (intrinsic) or outside the body (extrinsic).Insomniacs should adhere to a regular awakening time and avoid naps regardless of the amount of nocturnal sleep.

CONTINUED FROM 1-EDS can cause other symptoms such as mental 'fuzziness', poor memory, problems focusing the eyes, lack of energy and exhaustion.

Hypoxia is defined as a lack of sufficient oxygen in the body cells or tissues. Keep an oxygen cylinder in your car if you drive long periods .Keep the car AC on external.

Mental alertness and the propensity to fall asleep are regulated by circadian rhythm. There are two peak times of day at which a person is most susceptible to falling asleep, 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The hypothalamus like a alarm clock regulates our sleep cycles, as well as many other body processes such as body temperature, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, and the level of hormones and glucose in the bloodstream.

A disruption to the circadian rhythm affects alertness, appetite, and hormone secretion because the hypothalamus is unable to immediately recover to a change in the environment. Sunlight is a big component of your internal body clock.

When the sun goes down, your brain induces melatonin, your sleep-stimulating hormone. Melatonin works with your biological clock by telling your brain when it is time to sleep.

Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland at night to help induce sleep.Light exposure inhibits melatonin production. During the day, melatonin secretion is almost zero.Your melatonin levels can be tested with a blood test, urine test or saliva test.

Melatonin is a natural sedative. The brain releases melatonin only during times when the level of light is low. Melatonin is responsible for metabolism, sexual development and for regulating other hormones in the body

Sleep diaries (detailed patient accounts detailing sleep timing and characteristics) are helpful in documenting patterns of insufficient sleep; naps and longer sleep times on weekends are important clues.

EDS is a common problem for shift-workers, who tend to have reduced total sleep times per 24-h period, in addition to their circadian disruptions

any idea about This particular root is called Dioscorea bulbifera, better known as Air Potato in English ( Yam species). Other names are Varahi Kand (Hindi), Kaachil (Malayalam), Dukkar Kand (Marathi), Karaino ( Konkani)

Interestingly the air potato contains a steroid called diosgenin , which in turn is used in the west in commercial synthetic steroidal hormones such as the Contraceptive pill and which is further used by bodybuilders and man to boost the testosterone.

Hello all,In my Opinion Lymphatic drainage massage One must make sure that one does not rush for the lymphatic massage session after a long day at work and have any important appointment after it is done. This is because one is likely to feel tired after the massage and hence, should take adequate rest after the session. Another important factor that one has to keep in mind before getting the massage done is to discuss with the therapist about your heath problems. Though one must avoid a heavy meal or consuming alcohol before the session, one must remember to drink lots of water as it is one of the main factors that helps in flushing out the harmful toxins.Lymphatic drainage massage Sydney

Is this Lymphatic drainage Massage is suited for Lipomas in arms,shoulders,ankles, forearms, torso, near to heart center, back of the body and things ..!?One doesn't have any pain,, still is this approach mentioned by you will dissolve them?

Appreciate your views. Have already showed to doctors, every one says if no pain , No worry .!

Is this Lymphatic drainage Massage is suited for Lipomas in arms,shoulders,ankles, forearms, torso, near to heart center, back of the body and things ..!?One doesn't have any pain,, still is this approach mentioned by you will dissolve them?

Appreciate your views. Have already showed to doctors, every one says if no pain , No worry .!

A lipoma is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin, --say max size about one inch.

It is movable if prodded with your finger and have a soft, rubbery consistency.

They do not cause pain and will remain the same size over years or grow very slowly.

There is no known treatment to prevent lipomas or affect their growth.

A lipoma may be surgically removed if it --Affects your self esteemBecomes painful or tender-- it is only painful if it grows into nerves underneath the skin.Becomes infected or inflamed repeatedly.Drains foul-smelling discharge.Interferes with movement or function.Increases in size.Becomes unsightly or bothersome.

The removal of a lipoma is regarded as cosmetic surgery as it will NOT kill you, They can be removed by liposuction. Lipomas rarely grow back once they are surgically removed.

The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches. And you can go home straight away.

Ice and heat packs are useless for lipomas because they are fat-based.

this is a nice post to share the knowledge of natural treatment use and beneficial for those who are suffering from unwanted diseases , remedies which can be done at home with common home based thing, many natural home remedies are given in this blog. Way or Prakartik Chikitsa is given over here , I say thanks to the blogger who share this meaningful or valuable information, thanks for ancient Ayurved knowledge Home Remedies with many natural products,

A swollen, painful testicle that has come on gradually (perhaps over a few hours or days) is likely to be caused by an infection.

This is called ‘epididymo-orchitis’. It usually occurs on one side only, but sometimes both sides are affected together. The skin over the testicle may be red and shiny. There may be a discharge from the penis.

The cause may be a virus (such as mumps) or various bacteria. It can follow a urine infection (see Cystitis in men), especially in older men. It can also be caused by sexually transmitted bacteria such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea.

If you live in a tropical country, or have recently visited one, a worm called ‘filaria’ can get into the scrotum and make it swell up. This may or may not be painful.

To accurately diagnose your condition your doctor may need to order additional tests, including:---ultrasound of the testicles (imaging test)urinalysisurine culturesexamination of secretions from the prostate (requires a rectal exam)

Once your doctor diagnoses the cause of your testicle pain, he or she will be able to provide treatment. Treatment may include:--

antibiotics to treat infectionsurgery to untwist testicles (in the case of testicular torsion)pain medicationssurgery to reduce fluid accumulation in the testicles

Most men experience testicular pain from just thinking about it,

When the epididymis becomes inflamed, the testicles commonly get slightly swollen and red. The condition can be very painful, especially during ejaculation or even bowel movements. You may feel the frequent need to urinate, or see blood in your semen. You may even periodically feel chills.

CONTINUED FROM 1-The epididymis is a coiled tube located in the back of each testicle. Straightened out, it would be about 20 feet (6 meters) in length. It's a storage and delivery system for sperm. Its length allows not only more sperm to be stored there, it also gives them time to mature.

It's possible for the epididymis to get inflamed. Since the epididymis connects to the testicle, this can lead to a form of testicular inflammation known as epididymitis. The most common cause is bacterial infection. The bacteria don't reach the epididymis through the blood; rather, bacteria usually enter through the urethra and work their way back.The bacteria generally come from one of two different sources: STDs, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia; and coliforms, bacteria that live in the intestines

Due to the positioning of the veins and testicles, the overwhelming majority of varicoceles occur on the left testicle. Varicoceles are fairly easy to treat through the use of doctor-prescribed anti-inflammatories .

If you're feeling a pain in your testicles, there's a chance it's caused by a cyst -- a spermatocele -- growing inside the epididymis.

The cyst is benign, and it started out as accumulated sperm cells. It forms at the head of the epididymis, though these cysts can develop on the testicle or along the vas deferens. Most of the time, spermatoceles require no medical treatment.

The doctor will want to periodically check it to make sure it's not growing, Orchitis is a painful swelling of the testicles that can be caused by another condition we've discussed: epididymitis.

There's a protective membrane that surrounds the testicle known as the tunica albuginea. A testicular rupture is caused by a rip in this membrane that causes blood to leak into your scrotum.

Hello sir reading all your posts since last four years and this blog is the only and authentic source of information.we all are thankful to you for that.I want ask to u something if you have time to reply.1)my mother diagnosed with tb as she has swollen glands in her neck.she took treatment and self trated gland by applying g belladonna plaster and it dries and came out.but she still has swollen glands in her nape which when she has acidity starts paining. Apart from this she is on hypothyroidism tablet since 25yrs. And skin allergy for which she is taking cetrizine last 15yrs. At present she has whole body swelling for she took sm tests kidney liver and blood which the doctors is normal.last one month she started eating rock salt after I insisted.but nothing as such improving she is very active at home . need your suggestion.

Second I want to ask you regarding me be coz my problem is also same .I remember I started with a swollen gland in my nape 10 yes back which went off. After marriage I had ear infections and I could see swollen glands in my right jaw and neck 5 yrs back. More similar time I had a root canal in my left premolar ..immediately after that I had a swollen gland at the collar on my left side.I have developed sinusitis at the same time ...I was on hypothyroidic tablet for last 15yrs which after reading your blog started consuming coconut oil and has reduced to half dose and now m not taking any tablet. I have been to many doctors they rift side glands are due to infection and left you need to go for biopsy. These left node has not changed in shape and size since last five yrs and no pain.I want to remove the root canal ed tooth ..will it be safe or should go the biopsy process which I want to avoid. Overall I m fine . Except I feel I hv the wrong method of kundalini rising coz I used to meditate a lot for improving my studies. Thank you for it will taje your time as query is quite lengthy.also I have done tb tests which were negative.

Thank you so much for your reply ..pls suggest for my mother's body swelling..and if I go for my root canal ed tooth removal will it have any effect on nodes.will it be safe coz root canal was not properly done and also the root was quite long as seen in x ray. I always presume that node has been there since I went for root canal.

Go to some good hospital ,outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches (sutures).

With due respect.I don't know if you have or can refer me to any remedy for udt.undesended right testes in a two year old boy. A non surgical approach to healing.that can make right testicle descend.thanks

Undescended testicles, or cryptorchidism, is normally a painless condition.

A hiatal hernia occurs when the top portion of the stomach pushes through a weakened opening in the diaphragm where the food pipe (esophagus) joins your stomach (called the hiatal opening).

Inguinal hernia is due to weakness of the abdominal muscles which holds the organs in their original positions . So the organ gets protruded through inguinal canal and sometimes to scrotum.

An incarcerated hernia happens when part of the fat or small intestine from inside the abdomen becomes stuck in the groin or scrotum and cannot go back into the abdomen

As a baby boy grows inside his mother's womb, his testicles typically form inside his abdomen and move down (descend) into the scrotum shortly before birth. But in some cases, that move or descent doesn't occur, and the baby is born with a condition known as undescended testicles (or cryptorchidism).

Cryptorchidism is the most common genital abnormality in boys, affecting approximately 30% of baby boys born prematurely and about 4% born at term.

In about half of the babies, the undescended testicles move down or descend on their own by the sixth month of life. If descent doesn't happen by then, it's important to get treatment because testicles that remain undescended may be damaged, which could affect fertility later or lead to other medical problems.

In some of these cases, the testicle could be inside the abdomen. In some boys with a "non-palpable" testicle, however, the testicle may not be present because it was lost while the baby was inside the womb.

In some boys, the testicles may appear to be outside of the scrotum from time to time, which can raise the concern of an undescended testicle. Some of these boys may have the condition known as retractile testes. This is a normal condition in which the testes reside in the scrotum but on occasion temporarily retract or pull back up into the groin.

There is no need to treat a retractile testicle, since it is a normal condition, but it might require examination by a pediatric specialist to distinguish it from an undescended testicle.

If a baby's testicle has not descended on its own within the first 6 months of life, the boy should undergo evaluation by a pediatric specialist and treatment if the condition is confirmed. This usually involves surgically repositioning the testicle into the scrotum.

Treatment is necessary for several reasons:

The higher temperature of the body may inhibit the normal development of the testicle, which could impair normal production of sperm in the undescended testicle in the future, which could lead to infertility.

The undescended testicle is at a greater risk to form a tumor than the normally descended testicle.

The undescended testicle may be more vulnerable to injury or testicular torsion.

An asymmetrical or empty scrotum may cause a boy worry and embarrassment.Sometimes boys with undescended testicles develop inguinal hernias.

If surgery is done, it's likely to be an orchiopexy, in which a small cut is made in the groin and the testicle is brought down into the scrotum where it is fixed (or pexed) in place. Doctors typically do this on an outpatient basis, and most boys recover fully within a week

Boys who've had a single undescended testicle will have normal fertility potential and testicular function as adults

In India surgeons are well-practiced in both laparoscopy and the treatment of undescended testicles in general.

Sir, thanks for the blog. can you please suggest any centre in Bangalore who does manual lymph drainage massage. Most of the places I go are not much aware of it. I have a swelling in my feet with similar symptoms as you mentioned.Thanks

Thank you for sharing such great information.It is informative, can you help me in finding out more detail on Yoga Exercise ,iam interested and would like to know more about this field and wanted to understand the basics of Yoga And Meditation

Thanks a lot for this informative blog. I've been diagnosed to have lymphatic blockages, that is causing stiffness and pain in the legs and hands. The usual ayurvedic massage with pressure turned out to be very painful (the effect was felt after a few hours, could not sleep at night!). Tablet Daflon prescribed led to moving the blockages to the extremities and was painful again.

Is there a place you are aware of in Bangalore for MLD or any alternative method you can direct me to to provide relief.

My 28 years old female friend is diagnosed of mature b cell non hodekins lymphoma last month. She was planning for getting lymph drainage massage done. But internet is full with warning of not going for lymph node drainage massage in case of cancer.

AVOID MASSAGE .Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system. Lymphocytes are in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues (such as the spleen and bone marrow).

Some other types of cancer – lung or colon cancers, for example – can spread to lymph tissue such as the lymph nodes. But cancers that start in these places and then spread to the lymph tissue are not lymphomas.

The main types of lymphomas are:

Hodgkin lymphomaNon-Hodgkin lymphoma

These different types of lymphomas behave, spread, and respond to treatment differently.

Doctors can usually tell the difference between them by looking at the cancer cells under a microscope. In some cases, sensitive lab tests may be needed to tell them apart.

The lymph system (also known as the lymphatic system) is composed mainly of lymphoid tissue, lymph vessels, and a clear fluid called lymph. Lymphoid tissue includes the lymph nodes and related organs that are part of the body’s immune and blood-forming systems, such as the spleen and bone marrow.

Lymphoid tissue is made up of several types of immune system cells that help the body fight infections. Most of the cells in lymphoid tissue are lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. The main types of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells). Normal B cells and T cells do different jobs within the immune system.

B lymphocytes: B cells normally help protect the body against germs (bacteria or viruses) by making proteins called antibodies. The antibodies attach to the germs, marking them for destruction by other immune system cells. Antibodies also attract certain blood proteins that can kill bacteria.

T lymphocytes: There are several types of T cells, each with a special job. Some T cells can directly destroy cells infected with viruses, fungi, or certain kinds of bacteria. T cells can also release substances that attract other types of white blood cells, which then digest the infected cells. Some types of T cells play a role in either boosting or slowing the activity of other immune system cells.

Both types of lymphocytes can develop into lymphoma cells, but B-cell lymphomas are much more common

The major sites of lymphoid tissue are:--

Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are bean-sized organs found throughout the body, including inside the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They can sometimes be felt under the skin in the neck, under the arms, and in the groin. Lymph nodes are made up mainly of lymphocytes.

The lymph nodes are connected by a system of lymph vessels. These vessels are like veins, except that instead of carrying blood, they carry lymph and lymphocytes.

Lymph nodes get bigger when they fight infection. Lymph nodes that grow in reaction to infection are called reactive nodes or hyperplastic nodes and are often tender to the touch. An enlarged lymph node is not always a sign of a serious problem.

People with sore throats or colds often feel enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. But a large lymph node is also the most common sign of lymphoma.

Pranaam Vadakayil ji, I have learnt Yoga and also teach yoga out of social service. I am also doing Naturopathy course. In Naturopathy, they say that the cause of illness is due to accumulation of toxic wastes, and not due to germs. It does not promote medicines. Instead it says Food itself is a medicine. Ayurveda too does not talk about medicines, rather it also promotes toxins cleaning and healthy food. We were told that Naturopathy is older than Ayurveda. Later, for immediate results, we began using herbs as medicines and so Ayurveda was developed. What do you say Vadakayil ji...?

Respected Sir,Thanks for sharing such wonderful information. I had an hard lump in my right buttocks near the rectal area for a month. Didnt quite understand the cause of it but just didnt bother about it. Slowly it started becoming painful and big, applied turmeric and tea tree oil. It somehow got more inflamed. Went to emergency and they got it lanced and put me on antibiotics, in another two weeks just beside the cut another hard lump came up.went to colon rectal surgeon he put me on two antibiotics but didnt help then he made a bigger incision.. it was draining all right again on antibiotics, but he suspected it to be a sebaceous cyst.. so went to dermatologyst.. derma person stopped the penicillin antibiotic and gave 3 weeks course antibiotics.. bow feeling dizzy after taking it.. it has stopped draining now and swelling again but less than before.. all alone here so have to take care of it myself.. can you please hep?

Pilonidal cysts are sacs filled with hair and skin debris that form at the top of the crease of the buttocks above the sacrum. A painful abscess can form if the cyst and the overlying skin become infected.

Pilonidal cysts are caused by groups of hairs and debris trapped in the pores of the skin in the upper cleft of the buttock, forming an abscess filled with pus

Pilonidal abscesses look like a large pimple at the bottom of the tailbone, just above the crack of the buttocks.

It is more common in men than in women. It usually happens in young people up into the fourth decade of life.

It is common to find hair follicles inside the cyst.

Normal stretching or motion of deep layers of skin causes the enlargement and rupture of a hair follicle, the structure from which a hair grows.

A cyst then forms around the ruptured follicle.

You can prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus by washing the area on a daily basis with a mild soap, making sure all soap is removed, keeping the area completely dry, and avoiding sitting for long periods.

Once in a while show that area to sunlight. Sitting in a warm tub may decrease the pain and may decrease the chance that the cyst will develop to the point of requiring incision and drainage.

Around 4 in 10 people have a recurrence of their pilonidal sinus.

Obese individuals are more likely to experience a recurrence of pilonidal cysts.

Keep the area clean and dry, and either shave or use depilatory creams to keep the area free of hair.

Antibiotics do not heal a pilonidal cyst.

The preferred technique for a first pilonidal cyst is incision and drainage of the cyst, removing the hair follicles

A pilonidal cyst is an abscess or boil. It needs to be drained, or lanced, to improve. Keeping the wound clean and covered while it heals. Wear white cotton underwear.
